A mistrial has been declared in the highly-publicized Karen Read case, where she was accused of killing her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe. The jury, after days of deliberation, was deadlocked, leading to the mistrial, with prosecutors now having to decide whether to retry the case. The prosecution argued that Read ran over O’Keefe with an SUV while intoxicated, while the defense claimed O’Keefe was killed inside a house party and Read was framed. Controversies around the lead investigator's behavior and conflicting testimonies added complexity to the trial, drawing attention from true crime enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists.
